QuestionHow I measure the leg garter?T. ChinsenTop AnswererThe elastic length is the measurement of the thigh area where it will be worn. The lace and ribbon length is 3" (7.6 cm) more than the elastic. When sewing the elastic, overlap the end by 0.5" (1.2 cm) for a comfortable fit.

QuestionHow much elastic should I use when the garter is a gift?Community AnswerAsk the person for their measurements if you don't mind them knowing you are making something for them. Ask them for their thigh, arm, and head measurements just to throw them off! Or, measure someone's thigh who is the same or a similar size as the person you are giving the garter to.
